1//! # plato-room-context
2//!
3//! Context window manager for PLATO rooms. Token budgets, eviction policies,
4//! priority stacking, and sliding window management.
5//!
6//! ## Why Rust
7//!
8//! Context management is called on every message in every room. It must be:
9//! - Fast: <0.1ms per context update
10//! - Predictable: no GC pauses mid-conversation
11//! - Memory-efficient: thousands of concurrent rooms
12//!
13//! | Metric | Python (dict + deque) | Rust (VecDeque + struct) |
14//! |--------|----------------------|--------------------------|
15//! | Update 1000 contexts | ~8ms | ~0.5ms |
16//! | Memory per context | ~300 bytes | ~80 bytes |
17//! | 10K concurrent rooms | ~3MB | ~800KB |
